You should be able to click on any of these "tabs" and the page will change to show the corresponding data. For example, the season standings are on the third tab. Click on the third tab and you should see the season standings. As a rule, this is true of all LPR Autocross result postings (though they may not all have 5 tabs, but there will usually be more than one tab) since they are derived from an Excel spreadsheet. I apologize if this is confusing, for it is hard to notice unless you know to look for it.

 

If you have problems seeing these tabs and accessing the various parts of the results, please reply back to me and let me know and I will try to fix the problem. I proof website pages using Internet Explorer so it may not display correctly using Netspace or other browsers such as AOL, etc. If you are using one of these other browsers and you have any problems using the LPR site, Autocross or otherwise, please let me know and I will do my best to fix the problem.
